A limited deck going for $5 per deck (rounded up) being sold out is hard to find the silver lining. I'm sure you will find some, Don 
Aye, but there's the rub - it's not really selling for $5 anymore, is it?
I have to limit my purchases not simply for financial reasons, though they are big ones. Recently, I've been noticing that the collection's gotten so big, I don't get to enjoy the decks as much as I once did. For me, the enjoyment comes not merely in the possession of the cards and having them displayed on a shelf somewhere, but in cracking open a pack and actually using them. I have enough cards now that if I used just one different deck design a day, I wouldn't go through them all in a single year. If I used a single deck to the point of destruction once a day, I'd have enough to last roughly three years, assuming I stopped buying decks right now. I'm even thinking of selling off portions of my collection.
My biggest excuse for getting into cards like this in the first place was that the decks were cool and that I'd use them in a magic act as well as at a poker table. Well, I haven't played a single hand of poker on felt since I started a little over a year ago, and I've shifted to using only common or plastic decks for magic because too many of my nice decks get ruined in a single session. I did one trick, just one trick, for a kid using a pack of USPC Guardians I'd only opened a few days prior. After the trick was done, the edges of the cards were filthy - the kid's hands were a lot dirtier than they looked, apparently. I lost a deck of Tally Ho cards to a kid in a hospital wolfing down fried chicken his parents brought him and neglecting to clean his hands before touching the cards. The list just grows from there...
Anyway, I'm ranting and way off topic. I'd love to get a pair of each color, cheap, but I'd also love to have a nice wedding and honeymoon in south Florida on my birthday later this year. It makes it a lot tougher to forget my anniversary that way...
